This summary is published every Monday and is a list of SL viewer / client releases (official and TPV) made during the previous week. When reading it, please note:
- It is based on my Viewer Round-up Page, a list of all Second Life viewers and clients that are in popular use (and of which I am aware) and which are recognised as being in adherence with the TPV Policy
- By its nature, this summary will always be in arrears
- The Viewer Round-up Page is updated as soon as I’m aware of any releases / changes to viewers & clients, and should be referred to for more up-to-date information as the week progresses
- The Viewer Round-up Page also includes comprehensive links to download pages, blog notes, release notes, etc., as well as links to any / all reviews of specific viewers / clients made within this blog.

Cant wait to see Niran’s update, those nasty bugs that Cool viewr and Zen already fixed are some of the most annoying ones as for the rest all is working perfect!

Beta Viewer 3.4.0 is still being ‘fixed’, but they have finally got a decent set of translations out for the Chinese viewer version in dev. And let’s not talk about the broken login screen in Viewer 3.4.1 🙂

We’re probably going to see a few rapid-fire updates over the next couple of weeks. Not sure when stuff will filter through to the release viewer – I’ve heard speculation that updates to that are pending sorting various issues out (including the pathfinding tools).
